Things that they can’t eat: any cooked bones (especially poultry), grapes, star fruits, chocolate, raisins, nuts, milk (except lactose-free), xylitol, etc. Be careful about these, as they can be life-threatening if eaten by mistake. Poultry bones can scratch the stomach and cause death. Milk can cause diarrhea. If you
don’t climb stairs or elevators before 6 months old, you have to hold them (it seems that there is a risk of joint disease).
The calcium content in general dog food is enough. If you are not old, you don’t need to supplement it specifically. But I give Halo two powders. The lady from the agency that bought Halo recommended that they should be eaten until one year old. One is chondroitin carbonate and the other is glucosamine sulfate, which is similar to health food.
I have never given it food for humans. Sometimes it is so greedy that I break it into very small pieces and give it a little bit. But I still think that next time I will not give it any at all.
Then when I encounter something I don’t understand, I will ask first and then do it. I have always asked the young lady in the agency to understand. I am really grateful for the young lady’s patience. There will be many things you don’t understand when you raise a dog for the first time. You must not do anything rash and cause harm to the dog.
Finally, let me talk about my mental journey. From
my own experience, the rate of turning back when taking a golden retriever out is very high. Many people will discuss it, and some will even go up to rub it, but there are also many people who are afraid of it, dislike it, and walk around it. You need to prepare yourself mentally in advance.
Raising a golden retriever is really a “long and arduous task”. From the first day it came, I always told myself Since you have raised it, you must be responsible for it. I believe that many dog owners must have had a moment of thinking about not having it or regretting their decision during the process of raising a dog. Because of it, they can’t have fun outside, stay in bed late, and can’t just leave it alone. Halo is quite naughty. It is now eleven months old and I have been mad at it sometimes,
but I believe that its thoughtfulness, its company, and its warmth will make you not regret your decision, and not regret that there was a golden retriever in your world. It loves you, it is loyal to you, and it is willing to give its life for you.
Also, it is not recommended for girls to raise and take care of a dog by themselves. It will be very tiring. I think girls who can raise such a big dog by themselves are
brave.
Children don’t teach them. The father’s fault is the dog’s owner’s fault. If the dog is not disciplined, it is also the owner’s fault. Dogs have become a big problem in China now. The frequent dog crisis is because some owners are indifferent to or even ignore the rights of others and only care about their own rights. Some dog-hating people are also fueling the flames.
Recently, when local governments introduced relevant regulations, it caused a lot of discussion. I think what is more needed to deal with dog problems is to move the governance threshold forward, listen to the opinions of the people, take care of the people’s emotions, and start from the perspective of the people. The dog leash must be tied, but how to improve the moral level of the people, awaken the people’s subjective consciousness, and promote good laws and good governance is a greater test for the government. So I hope that every friend who is about to raise a golden retriever can raise dogs in a civilized manner and not let the conflicts between dogs and people get worse.
